Check patch tells me this is malformed should be:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 OR Linux-OpenIB

Apparently the WITH Linux-syscall-note is only used in uapi header
files.

And this is not a SPDX BSD-2-Clause license, this is the SPDX
Linux-OpenIB license.

Please be careful to use the correct tag with SPDX..

Also can you check if these SPDX tags are what are intended:

include/rdma/restrack.h:/* SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL-2.0+ OR BSD-3-Clause) */
drivers/infiniband/core/restrack.c:/* SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL-2.0+ OR BSD-3-Clause) */
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/ib_rep.c:/* SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL-2.0+ OR BSD-3-Clause) */
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/ib_rep.h:/* SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL-2.0+ OR BSD-3-Clause) */

I'm not super excited about the license proliferation, so if they
should have been OR Linux-OpenIB as well then please send a patch.
